How To Make The Most Of Your Weight Loss Program And Keep Your Dignity
By Ricardo Torres
So you've decided to lose weight. Or maybe you're okay with your weight, you just want to keep it under control. The psychological aspect comes into play.
Examine your motives. Are you in a rut? Are you obsessed with your weight? Do you like talking about it? Ah, there's the rub.
If you are accustomed to talking about your weight with, well, with just about any friend of yours; if you derive some sort of perverse satisfaction from complaining about your weight; if you think about your weight more than three times a day, then maybe the problem is not really your weight.
There are only so many passions, weaknesses, soft spots, pet subjects that a human being can have at any given time. Sometimes, your mind plays tricks on you, favoring one idea over all others. Your weight is ALWAYS a very good candidate. It's always with you. It reminds you of its presence - when you look in the mirror; when you adjust your clothes; when you eat; when you're skipping a meal; when you sit, lie down, walk up or down the stairs. It's ubiquitous. It's all-powerful.
As it is with virtually any other addiction, being unceasingly concerned about your weight keeps you from managing and/or solving the problem (if there is one). If you're really serious about losing weight or managing it, the first thing you have to do is allow OTHER INTERESTS to take priority. If you're so far gone that you no longer have any other interests, then go ahead and acquire some. It's easier than some people think. The world is full of wonderful things. There are relationships, gossip, opera, history, clothes, literature (because I have no shame, I would recommend getting some of my novels or purchasing my audio course on opera; it's called "Getting Opera - for real," and it's a lot of fun). There's also travel if you can afford it. Chess, cards, and games in general may not be a very good idea - substituting one obsession for another is an inadequate problem-solving strategy. (Following politics is very much like chess, by the way. Don't fall into THAT trap, please).
The benefits of shifting your priorities are pretty clear. For one thing, some of your friends, boyfriend, husband, etc, will enjoy discussing opera or football with you. Yes, they will. The jury's still out on whether they enjoy discussing your weight problem. And, of course, problems in general, and weight problems in particular, love attention. They don't like being ignored. Sometimes, when you ignore them, they just leave. Now there's a thought.
Get passionate about something other than your weight problem. Find something you really, really like (like opera, for instance).
Why do I keep bringing up opera? Oh. Well. Yes, I've put together a course on how you can learn to enjoy it in less than three hours. That's not really the point, though. Seriously. Good art is a VERY GOOD thing to be obsessed about. It's healthy. It's conducive to sharing. It moves your spirit (while other obsessions, such as one's weight problem, suppress it).
Sort out your priorities. Make sure that your weight problem, important as it may be, comes in somewhere between four and seven - and it'll very soon become a lot easier to deal with.
